I went upstairs earlier and they were both on the bed, so I scootched Vivi over to be next to Raven so I could pet them at the same time. They literally were holding each other’s hands a couple of different ways, which, daw. They’re such good friends. Not a lot today, just sort of lumping about. Can’t think of… Read more »

Kittens. Basket. Not a drill. I mean, it’s ‘wrong’ ’cause it’s a round shape, not a box, but still. So cuuuuuute. S’been a good day. Made some good strides in making sure I won’t be so ghastly behind when we’re back from our two weeks off. Managed a proper visit to Mum; she didn’t expect me, but she was more… Read more »

So uh, the one day I leave the house, of course we get super rains. I mean, it’s awesome to actually see some of the wet stuff, but I wore the wrong trousers and reminded myself why I wore platforms with my too-long jeans in high school. *chuckles* Yesterday’s picture ended up being oddly prophetic. It has been -ages- since… Read more »

I have to say, referral to ENT aside, the NHS continues to delight me. I’ve got my MRI next week, which was a quick turnaround from referral. Even quicker happened today; I’ve got my appointment for retinal inspection tomorrow. The diabetic nurse was referring me for a check, since apparently there’s a higher risk of retinopathy with diabetes? But yeah,… Read more »

I spotted both of the boys on this particularly high perch, and it’s like… this looks like an album cover. So yanno, Raven & Vivi Presents: MEOW. I dig it. Today has been pleasingly productive. In spite of losing an hour this morning (power outage while work was being done in the area), I got quite a bit done. Hopefully… Read more »

I’d spotted that there were a couple of berries on our bramble when I was taking something out to the bin earlier, so I figured that I’d see what I could find. It’s not that many, but it’s still a pleasing first harvest. And bonus, most of them are actually sweet and lovely. I’m hoping that in future year we… Read more »

And now, our back garden space has a basketball hoop for the kids. Which means we’ve all had at least one go, because it’s fun.  Hopefully it’ll see some good use. Smaller declares themselves to be good at basketball, so hopefully this’ll encourage her to have fun improving her skills. Nothing really today. Just been making a random forest path… Read more »

So yes, it’s been a good outing-visit so far. My head is a bit naff, but I’m hoping that’ll settle a bit more now that we’ve eaten. Yeah, getting there. It was nice though, as I can’t remember the last time I was in someone’s home that wasn’t either a neighbour or family member. The kids haven’t murdered each other… Read more »

There’s something about clean hair and painted nails that make a girlshape feel more put together than usual. Bonus, found a reason to pop over and see Mum after she cancelled on me, hee hee. We had a nice little chat; it was good for both of us. I’m hoping we’ll get back to our (admittedly mainly recent) normal Friday… Read more »

Nothing to report, really. I had to put the a/c on ’causeI was feeling a bit off. I need to chuck another one of the vertigo tablets in my face, just to be on the safe side. I expect the main issue is just my body trying to get used to the metformin. Hopefully that’ll bed down sooner rather than… Read more »
